Rifle/Pistol combo

[CZ223]

O.K. this one is just for fun. What is your idea of the perfect rifle/pistol combo and why. They don't have to be in the same caliber but, you score big points with me if they are. If you have different combos for different purposes by all means, tell us. I'm gonna break my lists up into what I have and what I want.

I'm not a real Cowboy but I play one on the weekends

 

[10-Ring]

My favorite combos:
22lr wheelgun & 10/22
RRA midlength AG & my USP 45
M1A and my USP Expert 45

 

[bear71]

Browning BAR .30-06
Browning High Power 9mm

Two pretty autoloaders that perform!

 

[wooderson]

Bushie AR-15 and CZ SP-01 - it's tactical, man! if any terr'ists come knocking on my door, I've got 49 rounds locked and loaded. I should get at least two lasers for each, one high and one low so I can just plan on hitting in between.

Marlin 1894 .44 Mag and Ruger New Vaquero in .357 - it's tactical, man! if any Injuns come knocking on my sod cabin, I've got 16 rounds loaded, if not locked. I should probably get a lantern in case they come at night.

Browning Buckmark Hunter and a .22LR to be named later - I'm broke, man!

 

[Sunray]

"...Browning BAR .30-06..." Yes, but the LMG. U.S. troopies have never used the BHP to the best of my recollection though.
I've never seen any need for a pistol when I have a rifle. The load used will be different for each too. Ok. An M-1 carbine and a Ruger revolver in .30 carbine. The carbine because it's light and handy. No milsurp ammo though. Strictly my 110 grain HP handloads. The revolver because the .30 carbine out of a handgun, loaded properly, is an excrement hot magnum-like round.

 

[Brian Williams]

S&W 13, Marlin 1894C, Ruger OM Blackhawk all in 357
S&W 34, Marlin 39M, Colt Woodsman all in 22lr.


That is my set, just need the OM Ruger Blackhawk, in 6"

 

[Legionnaire]

Marlin 1894S and 5.5" Ruger SuperBlackhawk in .44 Mag.
Marlin 1894C and 4.0" Ruger GP100 in .357 Mag.
Custom Ruger 10/22 and S&W 317 Kit Gun (or Browning Buckmark) in .22 LR.

 

[CAS700850]

For camping on a buddies property (very large farm) I used to carry my Smith 586 and a Marlin 1894, both in .357. Wish I still had the rifle.

 

[svtruth]

What

I got:
High Standard HD and Ruger 10/22
Ruger Bisley Vaquero and a Rossi carbine, both in .44 mag.

 

[MrDig]

Marlin 1894C and 6" Ruger GP100 in .357 Mag That's the combo I got right now.
Eventually a PC9 since nobody makes a 9mm carbine that takes BHP mags.

 

[M2 Carbine]

Maybe not perfect combinations but they are what I have.

45ACP
Kimber, etc.
45 Marlin Camp Carbine
M1 Thompson


9mm
P38, Taurus PT99, etc.
UZI


.223
Kel Tec and Bushmaster pistols.
Bushmaster M4
Colt AR
NM Rock River Arms AR


Since the Camp Carbine and 45 pistols use the same magazine and the .223 rifles and pistols use the same magazines I suppose they make good combinations.

 

[Macpherson]

M1 Garand and Colt 1911

or

Winchester 1894 Lever and Colt SAA Peacemaker


'nuff said

 

[ROAshooter]

sets

Garand-1911
M1A-BHP
S&W629-Ruger 77/44ss
S&W617-Ruger 1022s
Ruger Old Army-TC .54

 

[armedandsafe]

I wandered Northern Alaska for a few years with a S&W Model 10 and a Cadet Martini in 32-20.

[RH822]

My favorite combos are

Taurus 94 .22lr & Henry .22lr

Ruger MKII & Ruger 10\22

Marlin 1894 .357mag & Ruger GP100

 

[Malamute]

Browning 1886 Carbine, (45-70) and Ruger 45 Colt.

Pre-64 Winchester 94, and Smith model 29 4".


Depends on if out in grizzly area or not.

 

[Zen21Tao]

Classic Combo:
Any AR15 carbine chambered in .45acp and a good ol' fashion 1911.

Tactical Combo
AR15 in .45acp and either an HK USP or Sig Sauer P220 also in .45acp

 

[TWeatherford]

I can't wait to get an old style Ruger Single Six (with the brass trigger guard) to go with my Henry Goldenboy. Both .22lr, would be perfect for a cowboy action shooting match. Alas, I'll have to wait a few years to buy it (18 years old now, unless I find one privately).

 

[Working Man]

My modest collection of combos are:

BFR 7.5" .45-70 and Marlin 1895GS
Ruger Blackhawk 6.5 .357 and Winchester 94
